Over 50 years old, a group of kind hearted Thai and expat lady volunteers living in Chiang Mai helped to support orphaned children left for care at what was then Suan Dok Hospital – now called Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. The volunteers helped to establish and secure funding for Baan (home) Kingkaew Wiboolsanti (pronounced “Viboonsanti”), a safe haven where poor orphans would find affection and care. 

Since its early days, ‘Baan Kingkaew’ has continued to improve and develop living conditions and the quality of care it is able to provide.
